non-profit, $50 profit);

profit).
Arrangem'onts for lighting,
sound, stage crews, are to be

"I know there will be some

come to them," he said. -

More meetings held
with Robarts family
•IA
Members of Goderich council
met with Richard Robarts last
week at the Robarts' family
home on Elgin Avenue to
continue the discussion into the
use of Robarts' land for the
Elgin Avenue storm sewer
outfall. It was the ' , second
meeting at the home in two,:
weeks.
Reeve Harry Worsell, at the
regular meeting of council last
Thursday, said one meeting had
been held and the problem did
not seem as bad as had been
thought. He said the fence on
the property ran at an angle,
which. . made it difficult to
establish a line for the outfall to
follow, • but the. engineering
consultants, B. M. Ross and
Associates, were going to stake
the area to make ° the line of
demarkation clearer. He said
councillors were to meet Friday,
September 5, and will . report
back tocouncil this week.
Council had been
investigating the possibility of
purchasing part of the Robarts'
property for the outfall and Mr.
Engineer
estimates
sewer cost
Town engineering consultants
B. M. • Ross and Associates have
estimated • the cost of storm
sewer construction on Eldon
street, from Suncoast Drive •to
Comox Crescent at $13,000 for
a 48 inch line and $3,750 for an
18 inth line.
Council was of the opinion
the . 48 inch line should be
installed alit would be needed
later and the cost of the smaller
line, which the developer had
agreed to install, be charged to
the developer.
The matter has been tabled
for two weeks pending study of
plans for drainage in the area:
Robarts had appeared before
,council August 28 to state the
objections of the family. He
offered possible alternatives to
the proposed route and invited
council to meet with him at the
site.
and added he would be
interested in the outcome of a
court case that would try a
person arrested for making
excess noise recently.
In other business' the
treasurer's statement of general
account was received and filed.
The building inspector's report
showed 19 permits had been
issued for a total value of
$153,785.
* A letter from the Ontario
Water Resources ' Commission
advised council Charles. Adams
had successfully completed a
senior operator's course.
* Charles Mills has resigned as
janitor of Goderich Public
Library and the position has

handle now and will retire at

Home for Harold Phillips, 46, of
Sifto mine
seeks water
Sifto Salt Mine : manager
Gordon Muir, in a letter to
council, has asked for a water
line Labe run to the mine due to
problems the company has
experienced with water obtained
from the Maitland River.
Mr. Muir said the company
had always had problems with
the river water and asked the
town to give the" company the
same consideration as other
companies receive with regard to
water. He said changes had been
made but' were giving only
temporary satisfaction. He
`sugested an extension could be
run from the • line that feeds the
Maitland Country Club.
Reeve Harry Worsell . said
some, problems would be
encountered if the town tried to
run a line down Salt Mine Rbad,
because of the railroad, but he
would investigate the
possibilities.
Deputy Reeve • Walter
Sheardowrr suggested the line
could be run in the river •to a
point close to the mine, noting
the same solution had been
found in other municipalities.
The public works committee
will investigate and report back:
